Well atleast they are super delicious :).There’s a Mummy, a ghost mummy, a twin ghost pizza and a somewhat grumpy pumpkin. Take your pick.I was experimenting with another batch of cheese, so I decided to whip up these easy treats. And am quickly posting it today, since tomorrow is my Birthday and hubbs is OOF(out of office) and I am OTI(Off the interwebs)! Its a birthday month. Hubbs’, then Dad’s on Tuesday, then mine Melt you cheese melt! Hubbs ate the ghost mummy last, coz he thought it was the cutest.The crust has blendtec ground whole barley and coarsely ground sesame seed, which give it added protein and whole grain and that gritty look. Topped with an easy Sun-dried tomato marinara, chopped kalamata olives and cheese shapes. If you have ghost cutters, the cheese ghosts will look more fun!We ate bowlfuls of Missir wot too. Ethiopian lentil stew from yesterdays post. What are your savory meal/snack plans for halloween!Oh and do leave me silly halloween jokes in the comments!Inverted colors… Booo
